About Us

Category5 is a fabulous online fashion experience dedicated to truth in fashion, shopping, and all things style. Category5 was built on the premise of helping women build a worthwhile wardrobe based on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. We call it Categories of Style. A Category1 woman is at ground zero with her style and thus has very little to no impact. On the opposite end of the scale is the Category5 woman, who is living and breathing representation of pure style, a force to be reckoned with. In addition to Category of Style, we also focus on body shape and make a point to pick pieces on the Must Haves list that are versatile for most shapes.

We make it a point to cover every style avenue a woman may walk, from Cat5 Mysteries to “How To” get the best sales to build a budget-friendly wardrobe. We are dedicated to giving women all the tools they need to come away with an insightful, honest, and humorous look at where their style truly resides.
